Anyone watching Ivanovic vs Chirico?

Ivanovic has been the best fade next to Lisicki over the last year in WTA.

Agreed, she's just about the most inconsistent player on the wta. Chirico definitely played well though.

F'd me...I live bet and should have hedge after the 1st set....Lost 3 units over this....Damn....

me knowing nothing about tennis...saw that she was ranked 14...big mistake..

Tennis rankings are worthless man, never look at them again. My method is to see if a player is defending points (if they went to the final last year and they lose in the first round this year, the player loses points and unless they make up the points elsewhere, their ranking will drop). If their ranking drops, they will have to qualify for some events and they will face better competition at the start of the grand slams. And then I look at head to head. The most important thing is to find out if a player will be motivated, as there's way too many events and even top players will tank out of events as big favorites.

They look so similar and they are wearing almost the same thing.

I saw it..... Somebody has to find out how could the clothes plus the hair plus the hat could be almost identical

Both of them were sponsored by Adidas and maybe their tennis line doesn't have very many options? lol. It definitely was distracting and I doubt they wanted to wear the same outfit.

I literally can't tell them apart. They look so similar and they are wearing almost the same thing. I just turned it on and was so happy that the one on the bottom had break points but that was actually Chirico.

They should do like we did in high school - "shirts" and "skins".

Is there a site that gives you quick reference to this? You aren't the first person I have heard say this.

Almost pulled the trigger on Chirico

I use a pay site called tennisinsight but honestly, I only use it because I'm familiar with it, the site has gone downhill.

The free alternative is www.matchstat.com. It shows both head to head and if you click on the record before 2015 for example, you can see a players results for the entire past year.
